Short and Long-Term Postoperative Complications Following Total Joint Arthroplasty in Patients With Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C

Patients with HIV, HBV, or HCV have an overall increased risk of postoperative medical and surgical complications following TJA. Patients with HBV or HCV are at risk of more complications than patients with HIV especially for infection within 90 days after TJA. Patients with HIV are at risk of mechanical complications but do not appear to be at significant risk for infection following total hip arthroplasty.
